53.22

mūleṅgulyagravistāramagre tryaṃśena cārdhataḥ /
īṣannimnantu kurvīta khātaṃ taccottareṇa vai /
piṇḍikāsahitaṃ liṅgametat sādhāraṇaṃ smṛtam //

The width at the base is an finger-tip, and at the top it is half of three parts; / one should make it slightly low, with that cavity indeed towards the north; / this is remembered as the universal [rule] for a liṅga endowed with a pedestal.
